Create a backup of your Flickr photos

This is surprisingly simple, as long as you have Ubuntu or another Linux OS available it is a piece of cake.  Go to https://github.com/dan/hivelogic-flickrtouchr and grab flickrtouchr.py.  Open Terminal or another CLI and type:

mkdir flickrbackup
python flickrtouchr.py flickbackup

In a few moments you will then be presented with a Flickr authorisation webpage.  Type in your username and password and then authorise flicktouchr.py. Press Enter on the CLI and you will start to see the files downloading.
